Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In May 2020 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Masters including Portrait Miniatures from the Pohl-Ströher Collection, which included the work Frigates Shortening Sails Offshore by Charles Brooking. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 18,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 18,750.00 (€ 20,814.56). Admittedly, works by Charles Brooking have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Men-O'-War Reefed-Down And Riding Out A Gale in June 2014 with an auction result of GBP 68,500.00 (€ 85,587.47).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Mai 2020 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Masters including Portrait Miniatures from the Pohl-Ströher Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit Frigates Shortening Sails Offshore von Charles Brooking zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 18.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 18.750,00 (€ 20.814,56) einen neuen Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Charles Brooking auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Men-O'-War Reefed-Down And Riding Out A Gale im Juni 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 68.500,00 (€ 85.587,47).
